45: Chapter 44: Making a ss of the Matchmaking Register 45: Chapter 44: Making a ss of the Matchmaking Register The other party was not only the son of the Jin Family but also a young man with limitless prospects, who wouldn’t scramble for the opportunity.
But as Wu Lan made it clear, she wants a beauty, and those who aren’t attractive need not be introduced.
It wasn’t that Wu Lan was discriminative based on looks; it’s just that her son was too stubborn, and even beautiful won might not catch his fancy, let alone those who weren’t attractive.
Moreover, she was determined to resolve this matter quickly while her son was resting, cutting through the ss with a sharp knife.
Otherwise, when her son went back to his work, how could she arrange a match for him?
Although Wu Lan didn’t understand his job very well, she knew enough to realize that once he started working, he could be gone for ten days to half a month without a trace.
So it would be best to find soone pretty, preferably soone who could make her son fall in love at first sight.
As for the “beloved” her son spoke of, she didn’t believe a single punctuation of it.
So when they heard Wu Lan wanted soone particularly beautiful, quite a few gave up the thought.
Many wanted to curry favor with the matriarch of the Jin Family, but they didn’t want to fill the ranks only to be ineffective.
Worse yet, they might fail to win her favor and even offend her.
All effort for no gain.
Du Chunming’s husband also worked in a confidential departnt at C, and the news made her sowhat interested.
She had a daughter herself, but unfortunately, her daughter was rather plain.
Even as her mother, she couldn’t deny that her daughter’s looks couldn’t be considered beautiful.
She ca today with the intention of introducing soone else.
If she could help make this match happen, how could she fear not reaping so benefits later?
Du Chunming’s ntal calculations were ringing loud and clear.
And truth be told, she had indeed seen an exceptionally beautiful girl.
She was from her cousin’s side of the family.
Her cousin, Ding Guihua, was married to a village cadre in Qingshan Village of Hongshan Town.
Du Chunming had been close with her cousin since they were young, and last year when she visited her cousin, she indeed saw an extrely attractive girl in their village.
Thinking of the girl’s appearance, Du Chunming almost wanted to exclaim in admiration.
Not to ntion the n; even she, a woman, couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Sister Du, are you saying that you really know a very beautiful girl?” On the way, Wu Lan had heard Du Chunming describe how attractive the girl was and was extrely eager.
She wished she could take the girl ho right then.
“Sister Wu, it’s true, I, Du Chunming, never lie.
Any man who lays eyes on that girl wouldn’t be able to resist being smitten.”
“Is she really that beautiful?” Hearing her talk so extravagantly, Wu Lan, changing from her previous excitent, couldn’t help but ask skeptically.
Du Chunming knew that no one would believe her words, but she replied, “Sister Wu, I’m not deceiving you.
If you don’t find her attractive when you see her, I, Du Chunming, will imdiately resign from my job.”
The institution where Du Chunming worked was a governntal one, a secure job.
Hearing her say this, Wu Lan imdiately believed her.
Wu Lan knew better than anyone how important a good job was nowadays.
She figured that, even if the girl’s beauty wasn’t as exaggerated as claid, she must still be a very fetching beauty.
“Alright then, pick a ti soon, ask if the girl is willing, and if she is, bring her over tomorrow for us to et.”
Hearing this, Du Chunming’s eyes imdiately crinkled in a smile, “Sister Wu, there’s no need to rush.
I have to ask for the girl’s consent first.
I’m working tomorrow, but I’ll go and ask the day after.
Even if she agrees, she’ll likely want to get ready first.
At the soonest, I’ll be able to bring her over in three or four days.”
Although Wu Lan was anxious, she also understood the practicalities.
It wouldn’t be fair to expect the girl to skip work just to fulfill her marriage prospects.
However, Du Chunming’s intention was to give the girl a few days to make herself look her best, preferably more like a city girl.
When it cos to mutual attraction, one can’t simply force a split.
That wouldn’t look good if word got out.
The leaders had even said that being a poor farr for three generations was most glorious.
Once the rice was cooked, who could stop it?
After all, Wu Lan had only asked for a beautiful girl.
Even if she wasn’t satisfied in the end, she would have her justification.
She hadn’t asked for the girl to say she was from the city.
The reason for these twisted thoughts was mainly to guard against city folks looking down on villagers, refusing them at first sight.
That wouldn’t do at all.
Du Chunming was absolutely determined not to allow that.
Since she had set her mind to it, she couldn’t allow things to fall through.
Even if Wu Lan wasn’t pleased with her later on, as long as the girl managed to marry into the family, how could Du Chunming not gain so advantage?
With the 155 yuan earned, plus the previous 20, Xu Niannian had 175 on hand.
She dragged Xu Zhiqiang to the Departnt Store to buy more glutinous rice flour.
Thinking of the second recipe, they also bought beef and so other necessary seasonings.
After purchasing a heap of items, the two took the bus back to town.
Just as they returned to the village, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but sneeze several tis.
At the entrance of the village stood a woman with a beaming smile on her face.
Xu Niannian rembered her.
Ding Guihua, the wife of the village head.
